DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

When R is alkyl of three to 15 carbon atoms, it is normal alkyl or branched alkyl as illustrated by propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, undecyl, dodecyl, tridecyl, tetradecyl and pentadecyl. Since R and ethyl are integral, they are named integrally when R is alkyl. Thus, the illustrated alkyls become respectively, pentyl, 3-methylbutyl, hexyl, 4-methylpentyl, 2-methylpentyl, 3,3-dimethylbutyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, undecyl, dodecyl, tridecyl, tetradecyl, pentadecyl, hexadecyl and heptadecyl.

When R is cycloalkyl of four to seven ring carbon atoms, it is cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl or cycloheptyl.

When R' is atertiary alkyl of one to four carbon atoms, it is methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl or sec-butyl.

When X is alkylene of two to twelve carbon atoms with bonds to the nitrogen atoms at different carbon atoms, it can be unbranched or branched. If unbranched, X is 1,2-ethylene, 1,3-propylene, 1,4-butylene, 1,5-pentylene, 1,6-hexylene, 1,7-heptylene, 1,8-octylene, 1,9-nonylene, 1,10-decylene, 1,11-undecylene or 1,12-dodecylene. If branched, X is, for example, 1,2-propylene, 2,4-butylene, 2,10-dodecylene, or 2-methyl-1,4-butylene.

When X is X'-Y-X", X' and X" can be the same or different and can be unbranched or branched alkylene of one to four carbon atoms with bonds to Y and to the nitrogen atoms at the same or different carbon atoms as illustrated by methylene, ethylene, ethylidene or 1,4-butylene. When Y is cycloalkylene of four to seven ring carbon atoms with bonds to X' and X" at the same or different carbon atoms, it is, for example, cyclobutylidene, 1,4-cyclohexylene or 1,2-cycloheptylene. When Y is cycloalkylene or vinylene, the bonds to X' and X" can be cis or trans. Thus, X'-Y-X" is, for example, 1,3-cyclobutylenebismethyl, 1,4-cyclohexylenebismethyl, cis-1,4-cyclohexylenebismethyl, trans-1,4-cyclohexylenebismethyl, 1,2-cycloheptylenebismethyl, cyclohexylene-1-methyl-4-(2-ethyl), cyclohexylene-1-methyl-4-(1-ethyl), cyclohexylene-1-methyl-4-(4-butyl), 1,4-phenylenebismethyl, trans-1,4-(2-butenylene) and 1,4-(2-butynylene).

When Z is N-phenylcarbamoyl substituted in the benzene ring, it is, for example, N-(o-tolyl)carbamoyl, N-(p-bromophenyl)carbamoyl, N-(m-methoxyphenyl)carbamoyl, N-(4-chloro-o-tolyl)carbamoyl, N-(5-chloro-2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)carbamoyl, N-[m-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]carbamoyl, N-(p-acetamidophenyl)carbamoyl, N-(m-nitrophenyl)carbamoyl, or N-[p-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]carbamoyl. Named as substituted carbanilates the illustrated substituted N-phenylcarbamoyls are, respectively, o-methylcarbanilate, p-bromocarbanilate, m-methoxycarbanilate, 2-methyl-4-chlorocarbanilate, 5-chloro-2,4-dimethoxycarbanilate, m-(trifluoromethyl)carbanilate, p-acetamidocarbanilate, m-nitrocarbanilate and p-(methylsulfonyl)carbanilate. When N-phenylcarbamoyl is substituted in the benzene ring by halo, halo is fluoro, chloro, bromo or iodo.

In N,N'-diammonium quaternary salts of the compounds of Formula I wherein R' is alkyl, atertiary alkyl of one to four carbon atoms can be methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl or sec-butyl.

The manner and process of making and using the invention and the best mode of carrying it out will now be described so as to enable any person skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it.

The preferred method for carrying out the process of condensing an epoxide of Formula II with a diamine of Formula III is the use of a solvent inert under the reaction conditions, for example, acetonitrile, benzene, chloroform, N,N-dimethylformamide, ethanol, methanol or tetrahydrofuran at a temperature in the range of 0° to 100° C. Methanol is the preferred solvent and room temperature is the preferred temperature.

Compounds of Formula I in which R' is methyl are also prepared by methylating the corresponding compounds of Formula I in which R' is hydrogen with formaldehyde and formic acid.

Phenylcarbamoylation and phenylthiocarbamoylation of compounds of Formula I wherein R' is alkyl and Z is hydrogen, formation of acid-addition salts of the compounds of Formula I, and N,N'-dioxidation and N,N'-diquaternerization of the compounds of Formula I wherein R' is alkyl are all accomplished by standard methods.

The phenylisocyanates and phenylisothiocyanates required for phenylcarbamoylation and phenylthiocarbamoylation are known classes of compounds, some of which are commercially available. Those (substituted-phenyl)isocyanates which are not commercially available can be prepared, for example, by passing carbonyl chloride into hot solutions of the corresponding anilines in toluene, saturated with hydrogen chloride. Those (substituted-phenyl)isothiocyanates which are not commercially available can be prepared, for example, by treating the corresponding ammonium (substituted-phenyl) dithiocarbamates, prepared in turn from the corresponding substituted anilines, carbon disulfide and ammonia, with lead nitrate.

Acid-addition salts of the compounds of Formula I can be prepared with any pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic (mineral) or organic acid. If inorganic, the acid can be, for example, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid or sulfamic acid. If organic, the acid can be, for example, acetic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, quinic acid, hydrocinnamic acid, succinic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, methanesulfonic acid or benzenesulfonic acid.

N,N'-diammonium quaternary salts of compounds of Formula I wherein R' is alkyl can be prepared with any pharmaceutically acceptable atertiary one-to-four-carbon alkyl or benzyl ester of a strong inorganic or organic acid, for example, methyl chloride, methyl iodide, ethyl p-toluenesulfonate, propyl bromide, isobutyl iodide or benzyl bromide.

That the acid and the alkyl ester be pharmaceutically acceptable means that the beneficial properties inherent in the free base not be vitiated by side effects ascribable to the anions.

Although pharmaceutically acceptable salts are preferred, all salts are within the scope of the invention. A pharmaceutically unacceptable salt may be useful, for example, for purposes of identification or purification or in preparing a pharmaceutically acceptable salt by ion-exchange procedures.

The intermediate epoxides of Formula II are a known class of compounds. Their preparation is accomplished by epoxidation of the corresponding 1-alkenes and vinylcycloalkanes by any of several well-known methods, for example, by the use of peracetic acid buffered with sodium acetate. The 1-alkenes and vinylcycloalkanes are known compounds, some of which are commercially available.

The intermediate diamines of Formula II are also a known class of compounds, some of which are commercially available. Preparation of those which are not commercially available is accomplished by well-known methods, for example, by reductive amination of the corresponding diketone or dialdehyde, amination of the corresponding dihalide or dialcohol p-toluenesulfonate diester or reduction of the corresponding dinitrile, dioxime, diamide, diazide or other di-higher-oxidation-state nitrogen compound. Unsymmetrical diamines can be prepared from unsymmetrical starting materials.

The compounds of Formula I and acid-addition salts, N,N'-dioxides and N,N'-diammonium quaternary salts thereof are purified by distillation or by recrystallization. Their structures follow from their route of synthesis and are corroborated by infrared spectral analysis and by the correspondence of calculated and found values of elemental analysis of representative samples.

As stated above the compounds of Formula I and acidaddition salts, N,N'-dioxides and N,N'-diammonium quaternary salts thereof have antibacterial activity in vitro, which was determined by a standard serial dilution test. In this test the concentration of compound arresting the growth of the microorganism is the bacteriostatic concentration and is expressed in parts per million (p.p.m.). The concentration of compound preventing growth of the microorganism after further incubation is the bactericidal concentration and is also expressed in parts per million.

The compounds of Formula I and acid-addition salts, N,N'-dioxides and N,N'-diammonium quaternary salts thereof are useful as antibacterial agents and are espcially useful for disinfecting and sanitizing living and non-living surfaces by conventional swabbing, padding, spraying, immersing, rinsing and the like techniques. Depending on the particular purpose involved, the compounds are used in aqueous solution, in aqueous detergent solutions or in solutions in organic solvents.

The following examples illustrate specific embodiments of our invention without limiting the latter thereto.
